The proposed research is a study and application of Stochastic analysis- Random Matrix Theory(RMT) to fast calculate the transport properties of large static systems with relatively large disorder in mesoscopic size. As a ...

Introduction: Complete understanding of the mechanisms of biological processes, indispensable for the rational design and testing of therapeutic strategies, can be greatly facilitated by easy and rapid access to macromolecular ...

The development of a methodology to access C7 pinacolatoboron substituted indole derivatives is described. It has been applied to indole, tryptophan, and tryptamine derivatives. Further functionalization to a C7 phenolic ...

In this thesis, we present experimental methods and results of tabletop generation of high power single-cycle and frequency-tunable multiple-cycle terahertz (THz) pulses pumped with near-infrared ultrashort optical pulses ...

Hydrogen bonding between N-methylacetamide (NMA) and different solvents (D₂O or CDCl₃) was studied by using two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy to probe the frequency fluctuations of the amide I mode of the solvated NMA. ...

Seven- and eight-membered carbocycles are key features in numerous naturally occurring organic substances, many of which are biologically important natural products. This thesis describes studies directed towards the ...

A method for the palladium-catalyzed intramolecular Heck coupling of unactivated alkyl bromides and chlorides is described. The optimal catalyst system was composed of Pd2(MeO-dba)3 as the metal source and N-heterocyclic ...

Hydrophobic polycations have been shown to completely kill bacterial, fungal, and viral pathogens, on-contact. Herein we describe advances with this technology on two fronts: (1) innovation of a polycationic-derivative ...

Chapter 1: The Importance of Modeling Diiron Sites in Nature.There are a variety of metalloenzymes that have nearly identical carboxylate-bridged diiron active sites. An example is sMMOH, an enzyme that catalyzes the ...

The palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of aryl bromides with zirconocene-benzyne complexes has been investigated by S.L. Buchwald and coworkers. This method allows the formation of substituted biphenyls and terphenyls, ...

Metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are a relatively new class of crystalline, porous materials at the interface of organic and inorganic chemistry that have been applied in gas absorption and storage systems, thin-film devices, ...

Precatalyst species present in a solution of Pd₂(dba)₃ and Xantphos were identified as Pd(Xantphos)(dba) and Pd(Xantphos)₂ by use of ³¹p NMR and independent syntheses. Pd(Xantphos)₂ was found to form at high ligand ...
